Hi Gianni, sorry if I am slow on this, how to interpret  “for My glory” correctly?  you probably already told me but I am not understanding it. thanks

Hi Gianni, please refer to below excerpt. if the Creator created everything for his glory, isn’t his bestowal (towards us) driven by self-love (for his glory)?

 

“Every one who is called by My Name, I have created him for My glory.” This means that the whole world was created only for the glory of the Creator. The lower force is the will to receive, which claims that everything was created for it—both corporeal things and spiritual things—all is for self-love.”   (Shamati 50)

thanks as always

Hi Gianni

how are ascends(125 ladders) and descends manifested? through our emotions? how do I even recognize if I am in an ascend or descend?

I recall during one class I asked how do I know if I am receiving light of the creator(something like that), you said “You will know”… is above question similar to that? The fact that I am asking this question, possibility due to that I am not there yet, I have no clue of what ascends and descends are?

thank you as always!

“only when he really wants spirituality upon each test, he reaches it”.

I will engrave this line in my heart, thank you!

Hi Gianni, reading the article “The freedom” again and again and every time new questions pop up. below excerpt about “in a place of Torah”.  is it correct to conclude that you want to be in an environment which will bring out the best tendencies of yours not the worst. if I notice an environment is not making me a better person in the Creator’s eye, I should stay away?

“Thus, Rabbi Yosi Ben Kisma correctly assumed that if he were to leave the good environment he had chosen and fall into a harmful environment in a city where there is no Torah, not only would his former concepts be compromised, but all the other forces hidden in his source, which he had not yet revealed in action, would remain concealed. This is because they would not be subject to the right environment that would be able to activate them.”

so true…thank you
